A review by reeyabeegale
And Every Morning the Way Home Gets Longer and Longer by Fredrik Backman

5.0

It's to beautiful to be forgotten, and I never want to forget.

This story will stay with me for the rest of my life. I didn't realize that a book less than 100 pages will make me sob this much.

Memory is so precious. I hate the idea that one day I may not remember, I hate the idea that I would lose the relationships I've made in my mind. And my heart goes out to the ones who are going through this and to their families.

I lost one of my grandmothers to alzheimer, and I haven't seen her for a long time before she passed. And I for sure thought she would've forgotten me, yet when she forgot her children and her other grandchildren, she remembered me.

Whether I find this story beautiful and sad because of how similar it is to my personal experience, it's a masterpiece and I think everyone should read it at least once in their lifetime.
